PSALM XV. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his neighbour, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. But he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that putteth not out his money to usury, He that doeth these things shall never be moved. PSALM XVI. PRESERVE me, O GOD: For in thee do I put my trust. O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, 'THOU art my LORD: ' The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: THOU maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel : I have set the LORD always before me: Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: My flesh also shall rest in hope. For THOU wilt not leave my soul in hell; Neither wilt THOU suffer thine HOLY ONE to see cor ruption. THOU wilt show me the path of life : In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. PSALM XIX. THE heavens declare the glory of GOD; And night unto night showeth knowledge. Where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: Who can understand his errors ? Cleanse THOU me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; Then shall I be upright, And I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, Be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. PSALM XXIII. THE LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. HE maketh me to lie down in green pastures: HE leadeth me beside the still waters. HE restoreth my soul: HE leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for THOU art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. THE earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein. For HE hath founded it upon the seas, Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, Lift up your heads, O ye gates; Who is this KING of GLORY? Lift up your heads, O ye gates; Who is this KING of GLORY? The LORD of HOSTS, he is the KING of GLORY. PSALM XXXIV. I WILL bless the LORD at all times: The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. And let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and HE heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: And their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, And delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: For there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: But they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Come, ye children, hearken unto me : I will teach you the fear of the LORD. What man is he that desireth life, And loveth many days, that he may see good? And thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, And his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, |
